STONY BROOK, N.Y. -- The Stony Brook Seawolves took a 1-0 lead in the first inning and never trailed from there on the way to a 14-3 win over the Fordham Rams on Wednesday at Joe Nathan Field to extend their winning streak to three games.
Ty Panariello (1-0) picked up his first career victory after his performance out of the bullpen for Stony Brook (12-12). The right-hander went two shutout innings while giving up one hit. Jerek Hobb also made an impact on the mound for the Seawolves, throwing two shutout innings while allowing no hits, with no walks and two strikeouts.
Offensively, the Seawolves tallied their third straight double-figure hit game by finishing with 10 hits as a group. Leading the way was Matt Brown-Eiring tallying three hits and scoring three runs, while Brett Paulsen finished with two hits and two RBI. Also, Erik Paulsen mashed his team-high third homer of the season.
